HOME LIFTS I JULY 2025
A clear, honest guide to pricing, budgeting and planning for your home lift. One of the first questions we’re asked is: “How much does it cost to install a home lift?” The short answer: It depends. The long answer? Let’s break it down.
Pricing can be affected based on several key factors:
1. Type of Lift - Screw-driven lifts are often cheaper; glass scenic lifts cost more
2. Number of Stops - More floors = more engineering and labour
3. Structural Works - Installing a lift in a finished home may require minor construction
4. Customisation - Bespoke finishes like hardwood, glass panels, or designer lighting increase price
5. Installation Timeframe - Urgent installs may incur extra costs
